Factors Affecting Estimation of Garments Production:
An accurate estimation of garment production can provide the surety of garments shipment in a timely. But some key factors affect the estimation of garments production. As a result, sometimes it’s not possible to respect the shipment date.
Factors Affecting Estimation of Garments Production:
The main five key factors which affect the estimation of garments production are-
- The standard allowed minutes,
- Number of operators- working in a line,
- Production line running time in a day,
- Average line efficiency,
- Total break time
All the above key factors are discussed below:
1. Standard allowed minutes:
The standard allowed minutes or SAM of garments means how much time will require to make one complete garment. The standard allowed minutes or SAM has great importance in estimating garment production. Here, if the time required more, then production will take more time and vice-versa. It is the main key factor among five key factors that affect the estimation of garment production.
2. Number of operators- working in a line:
It is the second important one that affects the estimation of garment production, if a higher number of workers will work in a working line, the production of an order also takes less time to complete and vice-versa.
3. Production line running time in a day:
It is another key point that affects the estimation of garments production. If the production line will run more time than its scheduled time, then the production of an order also takes less time to complete and vice-versa.
4. Average line efficiency:
Average line efficiency is totally related to machine break down, imbalance line, continuous feeding to the line, quality problems, level of individual operator performance, and absence of operator. If these types of problems have to face during garment production, then automatically reduce the average line efficiency of any production and vice-versa.
5. Total break time:
During garments production, a worker can enjoy his/her fixed break time for launch, tea, and others. If their total break time will more, then the production of an order needs more time to complete and vice-versa.
